Is there any good free ADS-B platform these days? I know adsbexchange got bought up by a private jet charter company. So I guess they'll start blocking all sorts of stuff.

  Yeah but they're sold off. The founder sold out the community. A lot of feeders have stopped but I was wondering where they went :)

ADSBx (https://www.adsbexchange.com/ https://www.adsbexchange.com/) is still supposedly unfiltered.

  Hmm if they're not filtering now they will soon. It's an executive jet charter company. What other reason would they have to buy it?

    They got bought early 2023 according to the website, if they're not already filtering data, why would they suddenly start doing that? The company that bought them don't seem to be mainly a jet charter a company, but describe themselves as a "Aviation Market Data" company.

adsb.lol airplanes.live adsbexchange was also bought out by private equity recently, these two seem to be some of the larger fully community driven resources.

Hi. There are a couple free ADS-B platforms left: https://adsb.fi/ https://adsb.fi/ https://opensky-network.org/ https://opensky-network.org/

I did research on that topic when implementing my project https://adsb.exposed/ https://adsb.exposed/ The list of all data exchanges is here: https://github.com/ClickHouse/adsb.exposed/?tab=readme-ov-file#list-of-exchanges https://github.com/ClickHouse/adsb.exposed/?tab=readme-ov-fi... One of the best is https://airplanes.live/ https://airplanes.live/ - which currently aggregates data from nearly 1700 feeders globally; they have a legal agreement preventing sale of this data (to avoid situations like with adsbexchange); they share the data on a selective basis. One of the largest ones, Opensky Network - is supposed to be open for research purposes but they refused my request straight ahead. https://adsb.lol/ https://adsb.lol/ - is controversial.

  Wow! adsb.exposed is an amazing site. The airbus vs. boeing map, showing the dominance in europe and the us, is particularly fascinating.
